A Man's Desire In Life Poem by anjana menon

A Man's Desire In Life

Rating: 3.5


each and everyone has some desire
these desires are endless.

the desire of love-power,
raised him high, very high.

the desire of indifference-power
ragged him down
beyond his imagination.

the desire of thought-power
killed his inner silence.

the desire of money-power
fooled him, his life, his all.

the desire of education-power
made him the best

that's why a man's desire in life
made him to see the world beyond.

I made a small mistake to forget her after 10 years desires still lingers beyond her foot when she smiled me kept scilent when she laughed me put mask when she admired me roared barring the limit now after a long period she disguise in my every walk no, nothing powered me but no desire ruled me

Hi. I believe the one who knows best becomes silent. Shallow water makes more noise. So thought power won't break the silence. I think it's a good poem. I like the powers that you mentioned and I like the last stanza the most. I'd be glad if you comment on my poems too. Thanks.
